(November 11, 2008)--Toyota's San Antonio truck assembly plant was back on line Tuesday after a three-month shutdown.

The faltering economy and weak sales of Toyota's Tundra truck prompted the Japanese automaker to shut down the plant's assembly lines.

Toyota restarted the first production shift Monday and plans to add a second shift in April, but the shaky economy leaves that in doubt.

Analysts say tight credit and failing consumer confidence have kept people away from auto showrooms.

Tundra sales are off 65 percent since last year, which is the biggest drop among Toyota models.

Plant workers haven't been idle during the shutdown.

Since August, they've been working on process improvements, about a thousand of which were implemented before the plant resumed production.
